From the initial palace buildings only the Mexuar remains. Yusuf I built further on the Tower of Comares, the Patio of the Myrts and the Baths. Muhammad V built the Lions' Palace.

The three parts of the Royal Palace had different uses: the Mexuar was the public part or selamlik, where justice was administered and state affairs were dealt with, the Palace of Comares was the official residence, build in typical muslim style, while the Lions' Palace was the private part, with the Harem etc. In the latter, christian influences are to be found in the decoration, possibly due to the friendship between Muhammad V and the Castilian king Pedro I, the Cruel.

The Mexuar has been changed so many times that it is impossible to tell the original architectural outline today.

Do primeiro palácio construído resta atualmente somente o Mexuar. Yusuf I construiu as Torres de Comares, o Páteo com as árvores de mirta e os Banhos. Mohammed V construiu o Palácio dos Leões.

As tres partes do Palácio Real tinham usos distintos: o Mexuar era a parte pública ou selamlik, onde se administrava a justiça e eram decididos os assuntos de estado, o Palácio de Comares era a residência oficial, construído em típico estilo muçulmano enquanto que o Palácio dos Leões era a parte privada, com o Harem, etc. Aí se podem perceber as influências cristãs na decoração, possivelmente devido à amizade entre Mohammed V e o Rei de Castilha, Pedro I, O Cruel.

O Mexuar foi alterado tantas vêzes que atualmente não é mais possível conhecer o projeto original.

Van de eerste paleisgebouwen blijft vandaag alleen de Mexuar over. Yusuf I bouwde aan de Toren van Comares, de Patio met de Myrtenstruiken en de Baden. Mohammed V bouwde het Leeuwenpaleis.

De drie delen van het Koninklijk Paleis hadden verschillende bestemmingen: de Mexuar was het openbare gedeelte of selamlik, waar recht gesproken werd en de staatszaken afgehandeld, het Paleis van Comares was de officiële residentie, gebouwd in typische moslimstijl, terwijl het Leeuwenpaleis het privégedeelte was, met onder meer de Harem. Daar zijn christelijke invloeden merkbaar in de versiering, mogelijk door de vriendschap tussen Mohammed V en de Castilaanse koning Pedro I, de Wrede.

De Mexuar is zo vaak veranderd dat het vandaag niet mogelijk is zekerheid te hebben over het oorspronkelijk architecturaal project.
